we want our families to love us and to support us. they cannot love us if they do not know us. they cannot know us if we continue to hide from them. [applause] i am not naive. i know it is too dangerous for some of us to come out right now. we need to put as much emphasis on building demand for treatment as we do on insuring access. our health care system has long been a source of shame. the united states is the only industrialized country that does not guarantee health coverage for its citizens. but the rate combination of programs, we have built a robust system of care. only about one in four people with hiv aren't now receiving the care they need and deserve. if we demand it comment they will cough -- have to build it. health services are not meaningful unless they are used. too many people are intimidated by the medical system. too many people believe that hiv treatment requires a fistful of pills every day. when the army -- we need an army of navigators'. we need to integrate the biomedical and the behavioral some people continue to resist the so-called medicalization of a

instead they're use -- instead they're using that to push paper. those are the things that we're trying to get rid of, those are the things we're trying to streamline so that we don't have the red tape that's going to continue to stifle economic growth in this country. and if you look at what's coming down the road, my goodness. you have taxmageddon that's coming up, the democrats in the senate said they're willing to go over the cliff to get at the best job creators and tax them basically to armageddon. then you have the regulatory environment that continues to stifle economic growth. and if you look at what the obama administration's been able to do just in 2011, they added 231 -- $231.4 billion in new regulatory burdens. they added 82,000 pages to the federal register. that is an insane amount. but this week we are going to be fighting back and that's why the red tape reduction and small business job creation act is so -- in small business job creation act is so vitally important for the economic future of our country. i have a bill that's entit

he wanted us to go small. republicans pushed for us to focus on the so-called low- hanging fruit from prior negotiations before working on any of the tougher issues, meaning that they wanted to start by locking in and agreeing to all of the spending cuts that were identified as potentially working in a larger deal, but none other revenue increases that would have actually made such a deal possible. this was a tactic we have seen before, and we would not agree to an approach that would lead to an all-cuts and balanced deal. it was not a great start, but my hope that this was a negotiating position, not a hard line. we continued our bipartisan conversations. we traded offers and ideas. we had our staffs draft and analyze potential language. there were times when i thought we were very close. but looking back at the offers from the other side that represented the greatest attempts at compromise, it is clear that while we were close on the spending side, republicans had not even left their corner when it came to r
